He is certainly still a tiny baby — rescued at four months of age in November and weighing 122 kilograms, he is now around seven months and has put on 35 kilograms in total 🍼 He needs all his energy for his integration into the herd.

Khanyisa & Phabeni Share Sweet Potatoes 🍠 Khanyisa starts her morning alongside Phabeni at the bottom of the orphanage fence, where she gets her breakfast milk bottles, followed by sweet potatoes, apples and pellets. On this morning… Phabeni can’t resist reaching out his little trunk for a taste of sweet potato and quickly develops a liking for it! Khanyisa is typically not keen to share but Herman and Adine keep her calm while sneaking Phabeni a few bites of Khanyisa’s morning snacks. Phabeni

Peaceful moments with baby elephant Phabeni and big bull Jabulani 🐘 Phabeni and Jabulani seem to have become quite comfortable with each other. Of course, it’s no surprise that Jabulani accepted Phabeni right away – few things phase Jabulani, and he’s met several other orphans before. But it’s wonderful to see that Phabeni feels comfortable enough around Jabulani to lay down for a nap. It shows us that he feels safe enough to put himself in a vulnerable position. So while the very first orphan

Phabeni has his own special way to keep cool on hot bush days at HERD 💦 His private pool provides a place to splash and drink, and while he is still learning to use his trunk, his preferred mode of drinking is through his mouth. The garden in his nursery surrounds him with the sights and scents of the wilderness, while Lammie and his carers keep a close eye on him through the day and night. | HERD - Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development

A new adventure for little elephant, Phabeni 🥰 A HERD mud bath from mama Adine 🐘 In the last video with the new orphan, we shared his big step into the greater garden at the orphanage. The calf was apprehensive when Adine opened the quarantine gate to the outside area; he came out for a bit but soon returned back to the safety of the quarantine. It took some time for him to feel confident enough to step outside of what he had become comfortable with. So Adine went to fetch the fresh mud in the

The herd arrive back at the homestead at sunset while Phabeni is out in the garden. Because the wind is strong and can alarm the elephants while sending the scent of Phabeni to thrm, Adine decides to rather take Phabeni back inside to the nursery. We would prefer the introductions, even at the fence be stress-free and gentle, calming and friendly. When Phabeni first arrived, the herd didn’t react or show signs of acknowledging the new arrival at the orphanage but on the second day, the young gro

An Update on Phabeni & The Herd! One big happy family 💚🐘 We hope you enjoyed watching the introductions between Phabeni and the members of the herd, with all the nail-biting action and reactions, the heartwarming and tender moments, the funny back-kicks and tusk-pokes, and the few complete surprises! It was a journey in itself, and one that was very important to ease Phabeni into the herd, and to ensure no stress to the herd or the little calf meeting them. But a new beginning is here now, as

Phabeni enjoys a drink of water behind mama Setombe on a visit to the waterhole 💦💚 Estimated to have been four months old when he was rescued in November, Phabeni is around eight months old now. And still a tiny little figure when seen beside his new family. He is navigating all the new paths of the wild so well, and seems perfectly happy ambling through water. Where Setombe goes, he follows. #everyelephantneedsaherd | HERD - Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who donated to help little Phabeni on GivingTuesday 💚 We are absolutely blown away by your support! The vast majority of our funds come from individuals. Not from companies or partners or grants, but from people around the world who care deeply about elephants. That can be quite a stressful position to be in as an organisation. Donations from individuals aren’t guaranteed, and a number of factors influence what people are able to give. But our support

Come on, little guy 🙏🏽🐘 We have kept Phabeni home at the orphanage today. He usually joins the herd in the bush each day but we were concerned about his energy levels, which have dropped. We were feeding close to the homestead area this week so the little bull didn’t have to walk too far. Phabeni is eating but not drinking his milk, which is affecting his health. He is eating grass, leaves, and his buckets with apple, butternut and sweet potato. We started giving him apples yesterday as he di
